Lyrics

PLEASE DON’T CALL

I found you in an autumn mist
And rain hung in the air.
I asked if you could comfort me,
You laughed and shook your hair.

You said:
I’ll live with you, I may be true,
But I never stay for long.
Just when you think I love you,
You’ll wake and find me gone.

And I said:
Don’t tell me when it’s over.
Don’t tell me when we’re through.
I will not want to hear it,
If I’m still in love with you.

Don’t try to cable baby,
The wires have all come down.
Don’t send no so long letter,
I’m moving out of town.
My email’s disconnected,
The phone is off the wall.
If you can’t say you love me,
Please don’t call at all.

I loved you through the winter,
Between the snowflakes and the frost.
But I could not keep the cold outside:
That’s how our love was lost.

And you said:
I told you I would live with you,
But it would not be for long;
That I would make you love me,
And then I would be gone.

And I said:
Don’t tell me that it’s over.
Please don’t tell me that we’re through.
You will not want to hear it,
But I’m still in love with you.

No, don’t try to cable baby,
The telegraph's a mess.
Don’t write me goodbye letters,
I don't live at this address.
The internet is broken,
My phone is off the wall.
If you can’t say you love me,
Please don’t call at all.
